        $job->description = $desc;

        break;

    case 2: // read specific attribute from db and update
        $job = $pc->job->readFromDb(self::FIRST_JOB + $repetition - 1, ['description']);
        $readDesc = $job->description;
        $job->description = $desc;
        $job->save();
        break;

    case 3: // only update
        $job = $pc->job->lazyRead(self::FIRST_JOB + $repetition - 1);
        $job->description = $desc;
        $job->save();
        break;

    case 4: // read all attributes on access attribute from db and update
        $job = $pc->job->lazyRead(self::FIRST_JOB + $repetition - 1);
        $readDesc = $job->description;
        $job->description = $desc;
        $job->save();
        break;

    case 5: // do nothing with soap api
        $job = $pc->job->lazyRead(self::FIRST_JOB + $repetition - 1);
        $job->save();
        break;
}
